    I probably use the 'Subscribed Threads' feature more than anything else.

    Other than that it's just the 'New Posts' button.
    Although occasionaly I'll sometimes look through the first page or two of threads on 'After Hours' to see if anything grabs my attention.

    I find that the 'Search' function really dosen't work too well.


    Sorry, I'm really, really bored.
    Just trying to find some good posts / threads to read.
    I'm in work when there's absolutely no point in being here.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    AH takes up most of my time here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    New posts and subbed forums, pretty much covers everything for me


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    The subscribed posts thingey in the user cp and the subbed filter on the home page.

    It really is an excellent feature.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,849 ✭✭✭condra


    I usually stick to areas which interest me, like Music, Atheism etc.

    I ususally find places like After Hours too clicky, testosterone charged, and overspilling with crap memes.

    Hope you stay here for a bit since you accidentaly got here.:D

    I got dragged into a snowballing theological debate here ("being atheist is a cnut").
    We're having our war in your territory. It's a bit like the transformers movie.

    </hijacking>

    as you were

    Just subbed, really, so AH, tLL, BGRH, Music, Nintendo, PI, RI, A&PI, A&A, Deutsch, Gigs, Humour, Noc, Thunderdome, Westmeath, Mythology, Paranormal, F&A.. think that's it.

    Never bother with anything else unless I need something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    new posts and my posts via my profile


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,833 ✭✭✭✭Armin_Tamzarian


    Wow, perhaps this thread isn't as pointless as I had anticipated.

    I do have one other browsing technique that I use when I'm bored.
    If I spot a good post by someone I'll click on their user profile and browse through their 'Thanked Posts'.

    Some posters such as Pighead have been a mine of enjoyable posts....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,493 ✭✭✭eddiehead


    Carlow,Soccer,Poker, AH & Lost occupy most of my time.

    Also Thread Filter>>Last post time>>Ascending>>Beginning can be interesting:pac:

    Basically just browse through AH, Thunderdome, economics, politics, television in about that order and sometimes BGRH, PI and the Ladies Lounge, the last two out of curiosity!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 704 ✭✭✭Lobelia Overhill


    subbed threads in User CP then New Posts. I'm constantly stunned at the variety of forums on Boards - Mustard?! Seriously?! there's a forum for a condiment?

    Alot of the above, also the poker forum, subscriber forums, bargain alerts and consumer issues. If only i could post in prison, love that place.


    Off topic... lovin' your user name :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I go through my previous posts to catch up on threads I have 'contributed' to, and what the hell Ive posted whilst horrendufied.

    After that I catch up on AH's latest. Then off to regions, sport, PI, R+R, various others. TCN if its a very slow day and Im suitably pïssed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 Princess Jade


    Warm cup of Hot Chocolatée, strip to me bra and knickers, then relax on the bed is how I start off and then just whack away off the home page. I tend to watch the SCfi channel while browsing or bounce a tennis ball off the wall prison style.

    Each to their own I guess.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,493 ✭✭✭eddiehead


    While we're kinda on the topic of forums, WTF is airsoft all about? And why is it so popular?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I've never subscribed to a thread or a forum.
    If there's a reported post in C&H, I'll log on to read it.
    Otherwise I just log on when I feel like it and randomly skim through my favourite forums (mainly AH, Nocturnal, UCC and TCN....and C&H of course!)

    I'm being deadly serious here when I tell you not to screw around in the mustard forum.
    Instant site ban for acting the bollix there.
    Once again, don't screw around in the mustard forum.

    Air guns.
    Light ammunition rifles as I understand it.
    Basically the easiest way to get a gun in Ireland is to join one of these clubs.
    Pellet guns basically.
    I'm open to correction on this.

    I open firefox. click on the address bar and press B. That opens up AH.
    Then I right click to check new PMs.
    Then I look at reported posts and the mod forums.
    Back to AH and kill some time.
    Might have a look at feedback.
    PW forum on Wednesdays, after I've seen RAW and the PPV (if there has been one).
    Back to AH to read more and catch up on big threads.
    Ban a few people.
    Reply to PMs.
    Send people to the help desk.
    Back to the mod forums.
    Few sudoku puzzles at websudoku.com while listening to relaxing music and then back to dealing with people I banned.
    Back to AH and post a bit in the threads that interest me.
    Then porn.

    Someone screwed up my subbed forum list after changing my name a few weeks back.
    Didn't really use it much anyway. Just a list of private hosted forums which will take stuff that doesn't belong in AH.

    Moderators abusing their powers for their own entertainment.

  • Subscribers Posts: 32,859 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Subbed forums only. I very rarely go to the home page. The poker forum is my first entry point and I spend most of my time there. After that I visit soccer, mods, AH, and maybe one or two others at times. Never used subscribed threads, as I don't use enough forums to make it relevant to me.

    There is no such thing. It's kinda of like an in-joke, like atari jaguar. Now move along and stop asking questions...

    I just go from top to bottom opening the sections I post in in new tabs then flick through one at a time.
